Hello,
I've been trying to fathom how to reduce the between space two grouped
staffs. I'm obviously not understanding the Notation Reference as I have
tried a variety of places where I have pasted what I think is the correct
settings but nothing seems to change the defaults.
My construction is as follows.
-----
\version "2.13.40"
\musicA = { a b c d etc.}
\musicB = { a b c d etc.}
\musicC = { a b c d etc.}
\score {
<<
\new RhythmicStaff {
<<
\new Voice {
\musicA
}
\new Voice {
\MusicB
}
>>
}
\new RhythmicStaff {
\MusicC
}
>>
\layout { }
}
-----
This all engraves fine. But I have a lot of white space between the two
RhythmicStaffs that are grouped together that I'd like to reduce.
I tried to insert (using silly numbers to see if it was just my values
being too conservative or not)
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 4)
(minimum-distance . 4)
(padding . -10))
In a variety of places. If for example I followed the NR's example and put
something like
\score {
<<
\new RhythmicStaff \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 4)
(minimum-distance . 4)
(padding . -10))
...
Etc.
I get a compilation error with an unexpected '}' if I remove the '\with',
but leave the braces 'as is' the compilation error goes away but still
nothing changes.
If I put this \override in the \layout { } it compiles but nothing changes.
I also tried default-staff-staff-spacing but again nothing happens.
:(
Can someone point me in the right direction? Is my version 2.13.40 too
old? Or does this not work with RhythmicStaff and so on.
Thanks for any pointers.
James
